When looking for $HOME/.gitconfig etc., it is OK if we cannot read
them because they do not exist, but we did not diagnose existing
files that we cannot read.
* jk/config-warn-on-inaccessible-paths:
warn_on_inaccessible(): a helper to warn on inaccessible paths
attr: warn on inaccessible attribute files
gitignore: report access errors of exclude files
config: warn on inaccessible files
The exit status code from "git config" was way overspecified while
being incorrect. Update the implementation to give the documented
status for a case that was documented, and introduce a new code for
"all other errors".
* jc/maint-config-exit-status:
config: "git config baa" should exit with status 1
Before reading a config file, we check "!access(path, R_OK)"
to make sure that the file exists and is readable. If it's
not, then we silently ignore it.
For the case of ENOENT, this is fine, as the presence of the
file is optional. For other cases, though, it may indicate a
configuration error (e.g., not having permissions to read
the file). Let's print a warning in these cases to let the
user know.

Teach git to write to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config if
- it already exists,
- $HOME/.gitconfig file doesn't, and
- The --global option is used.
Otherwise, write to $HOME/.gitconfig when the --global option is
given, as before.
If the user doesn't create $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config, there is
absolutely no change. Users can use this new file only if they want.
If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, $HOME/.config/git/config
will be used.
Advice for users who often come back to an old version of Git: you
shouldn't create this file.

Teach git to read the "gitconfig" information from a new location,
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config; this allows the user to avoid
cluttering $HOME with many per-application configuration files.
In the order of reading, this file comes between the global
configuration file (typically $HOME/.gitconfig) and the system wide
configuration file (typically /etc/gitconfig).
We do not write to this new location (yet).
If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, $HOME/.config/git/config
will be used. This is in line with XDG specification.
If the new file does not exist, the behavior is unchanged.

It can be useful to split your ~/.gitconfig across multiple
files. For example, you might have a "main" file which is
used on many machines, but a small set of per-machine
tweaks. Or you may want to make some of your config public
(e.g., clever aliases) while keeping other data back (e.g.,
your name or other identifying information). Or you may want
to include a number of config options in some subset of your
repos without copying and pasting (e.g., you want to
reference them from the .git/config of participating repos).
This patch introduces an include directive for config files.
It looks like:
[include]
path = /path/to/file
This is syntactically backwards-compatible with existing git
config parsers (i.e., they will see it as another config
entry and ignore it unless you are looking up include.path).
The implementation provides a "git_config_include" callback
which wraps regular config callbacks. Callers can pass it to
git_config_from_file, and it will transparently follow any
include directives, passing all of the discovered options to
the real callback.
Include directives are turned on automatically for "regular"
git config parsing. This includes calls to git_config, as
well as calls to the "git config" program that do not
specify a single file (e.g., using "-f", "--global", etc).
They are not turned on in other cases, including:
1. Parsing of other config-like files, like .gitmodules.
There isn't a real need, and I'd rather be conservative
and avoid unnecessary incompatibility or confusion.
2. Reading single files via "git config". This is for two
reasons:
a. backwards compatibility with scripts looking at
config-like files.
b. inspection of a specific file probably means you
care about just what's in that file, not a general
lookup for "do we have this value anywhere at
all". If that is not the case, the caller can
always specify "--includes".
3. Writing files via "git config"; we want to treat
include.* variables as literal items to be copied (or
modified), and not expand them. So "git config
--unset-all foo.bar" would operate _only_ on
.git/config, not any of its included files (just as it
also does not operate on ~/.gitconfig).

The git-config command sometimes operates on the default set
of config files (either reading from all, or writing to repo
config), and sometimes operates on a specific file. In the
latter case, we set the magic global config_exclusive_filename,
and the code in config.c does the right thing.
Instead, let's have git-config use the "advanced" variants
of config.c's functions which let it specify an individual
filename (or NULL for the default). This makes the code a
lot more obvious, and fixes two small bugs:
1. A relative path specified by GIT_CONFIG=foo will look
in the wrong directory if we have to chdir as part of
repository setup. We already handle this properly for
"git config -f foo", but the GIT_CONFIG lookup used
config_exclusive_filename directly. By dropping to a
single magic variable, the GIT_CONFIG case now just
works.
2. Calling "git config -f foo --edit" would not respect
core.editor. This is because just before editing, we
called git_config, which would respect the
config_exclusive_filename setting, even though this
particular git_config call was not about looking in the
user's specified file, but rather about loading actual
git config, just as any other git program would.

The prefix_filename function returns a pointer to a static
buffer which may be overwritten by subsequent calls. Since
we are going to keep the result around for a while, let's be
sure to duplicate it for safety.
I don't think this can be triggered as a bug in the current
code, but it's a good idea to be defensive, as any resulting
bug would be quite subtle.

The previous logic in show_config was to print the delimiter when the
value was set, but Boolean variables have an implicit value "true" when
they appear with no value in the config file. As a result, we got:
git_Config --get-regexp '.*\.Boolean' #1. Ok: example.boolean
git_Config --bool --get-regexp '.*\.Boolean' #2. NO: example.booleantrue
Fix this by defering the display of the separator until after the value
to display has been computed.

For "git config --get-colorbool color.foo", we use a custom
callback that looks not only for the key that the user gave
us, but also for "diff.color" (for backwards compatibility)
and "color.ui" (as a fallback).
For the former, we use a custom variable to store the
diff.color value. For the latter, though, we store it in the
main "git_use_color_default" variable, turning on color.ui
for any other parts of git that respect this value.
In practice, this doesn't cause any bugs, because git-config
runs without caring about git_use_color_default, and then
exits. But it crosses module boundaries in an unusual and
confusing way, and it makes refactoring color handling
harder than it needs to be.

When we read a color value either from a config file or from
the command line, we use git_config_colorbool to convert it
from the tristate always/never/auto into a single yes/no
boolean value.
This has some timing implications with respect to starting
a pager.
If we start (or decide not to start) the pager before
checking the colorbool, everything is fine. Either isatty(1)
will give us the right information, or we will properly
check for pager_in_use().
However, if we decide to start a pager after we have checked
the colorbool, things are not so simple. If stdout is a tty,
then we will have already decided to use color. However, the
user may also have configured color.pager not to use color
with the pager. In this case, we need to actually turn off
color. Unfortunately, the pager code has no idea which color
variables were turned on (and there are many of them
throughout the code, and they may even have been manipulated
after the colorbool selection by something like "--color" on
the command line).
This bug can be seen any time a pager is started after
config and command line options are checked. This has
affected "git diff" since 89d07f7 (diff: don't run pager if
user asked for a diff style exit code, 2007-08-12). It has
also affect the log family since 1fda91b (Fix 'git log'
early pager startup error case, 2010-08-24).
This patch splits the notion of parsing a colorbool and
actually checking the configuration. The "use_color"
variables now have an additional possible value,
GIT_COLOR_AUTO. Users of the variable should use the new
"want_color()" wrapper, which will lazily determine and
cache the auto-color decision.

Usually this function figures out for itself whether stdout
is a tty. However, it has an extra parameter just to allow
git-config to override the auto-detection for its
--get-colorbool option.
Instead of an extra parameter, let's just use a global
variable. This makes calling easier in the common case, and
will make refactoring the colorbool code much simpler.

Sanity-check config variable names when adding and retrieving them. As a side
effect code duplication between git_config_set_multivar and get_value (in
builtin/config.c) was removed and the common functionality was placed in
git_config_parse_key.
This breaks a test in t1300 which used invalid section-less keys in the tests
for "git -c". However, allowing such names there was useless, since there was
no way to set them via config file, and no part of git actually tried to use
section-less keys. This patch updates the test to use more realistic examples
as well as adding its own test.

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of

Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c
builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c
you get
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type]
builtin/ builtin.h
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c
which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.
NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
